Title: Coca Cola Cleveland Clock
Post by: Hot Rod on August 04, 2016, 04:44:27 pm
 I have a VERY nice original Coke Cleveland neon clock. It was my grandfathers.
He owned it for years. It is one of the nicest originals I have seen. The original paint on the can is beautiful complete with
original instructional stickers.  Oddly enough, it doesn't have the original marquee banner attached to the top.
He never had it all the years he owned it. He said he purchased it like that.
    I actually located an original marquee for it, but the plastic Coke lens is cracked. Does anyone have one for sale, or know where I can get one?

   I tried Waynes clocks several times. They don't have any in stock or have any idea when they will make anymore.
    Thanks Dave

Thanks Jim
I talked to him also.
He sells the blank plastics but it would have to be screen printed off the original.
I'm using this as a last resort.

Dave,
If the crack in the lower right corner is all that's wrong; I would not replace it!
Carefully remove it from the marquee housing and take it to a plexiglass shop to see what they have in the form of glues/adhesives to re-attach...
Be careful as some glues/adhesives can/will "eat" the silk-screen artwork!

  I wish that was all that was wrong with it.
You can't see it in the pic, but there is a chunk missing in the top.

I'd be more than happy to display that on the clock. I'm not a big perfectionist.

       I would assume any well equipped sign shop could reproduce that.
Rather than silk screening, they will use vinyl letters as masking on white plastic..... then spray paint over it and peel the letters
